The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes:
Playlist
from March 12, 2019

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Listener comments!

A $75 pledge gets you the reward of my South West Tex Mex Sampler CD full of amazing Cumbias & Bolero Ballads. Music you don't often encounter outside of the South West.

Kris Holmes:
I also have prizes from Durand Jones, Jimi Hendrix, James Hunter, Charlie Rich, Mississippi Fred McDowell & The Shacks to give away. Remember, your odds to be rewarded are greater if you pledge on the stream since the traffic here is less competition than the main station!!!

Vincent’s show was on fire but I refuse to set up a Mixlr account so I figured I’d be social over here.

Chresti, Larry & I have an old record friend named Eric who lives in Memphis. He actually went to the restaurant from that pic & had them recreate the meal for him & his party. It was epic.

Kris have you heard anything about the ponderosa stomp for this fall? It is the every other year. They announced the 2017 version in the fall of 2016. I forgot to ask Ira when I ran into him a month or so ago.

The stomp “promoted” a show the Saturday before Mardi Gras with lil buck al carnival time guitar lightning lee and others but I didn’t even find out about till after the fact when I thought about the stomp sometime last week. The show was at a bar a few blocks from me so I would have gone if I had known.

I’ve never donated to WFMU before but I listen to so many shows on the station now. I would like to sit down and listen to a convo between Finewine and Ian Levine.

Speaking of New Zealanders. I’m curious to see the Time Bandits TV show. There’s so much that could be done with the basic premise of the universe Gilliam created.

I found this in Thailand at a record store in the 90s on a Thai label and didn’t buy it. I knew it would get destroyed in my backpack long before I got back home.
